Jul 31 Weekend Links / / Lavender Baby Snuggles

This round of Weekend Links is arriving just as the weekend is coming to a close. Jordan and I came home, from the hospital, with Phoenix yesterday around lunch time. I don't want to jinx anything but our first night alone went well! I've always been able to easily fall back asleep so while my sleep was interrupted, I did sleep. Hopefully, that'll continue. ;-)

I'm excited to fill you in on details of Phoenix's birth and first week but until then....

Uses for Lavender Oil | I'm not one to swear off all antibiotics or prescription drugs for essential oils but oils do work in many instances. After a few weekends of outdoor parties, Jordan's left leg had a multitude of inflamed bug bites. After few days of applying lavender oil the inflammation and itchiness decreased significantly!

Stranger Things | Since Phoenix blessed us with his presence a week late, Jordan and I spent the few days leading up to my induction by watching the Netflix original television series, Stranger Things. It's the perfect balance of suspense and excellent story-telling. We still have a few episodes left so, please, no spoilers!
